Step into the world of rakugo, Japan’s traditional art of storytelling that dates all the way back to the 16th century!
Imagine this: a lone storyteller sits on a small stage called a koza, armed with just a paper fan and a hand towel. Through quick voice changes, expressive facial expressions, and slight head turns, they bring multiple characters to life—whether it's a hilarious comedy, a heartwarming tale, or a dramatic story.
In 1983, Katsura Shijaku wowed audiences by performing rakugo in English, opening the doors for storytellers to share this beautiful tradition with global audiences! At Japan Village through the English Rakugo Association, we’re excited to use English rakugo not only to share Japanese culture far and wide but also as a fun, creative way to help people sharpen their English communication skills.
Let’s keep the stories alive, connect cultures, and prove that learning a language can be entertaining AND inspiring!
